I can understand allergies to a point, but I think this is becoming a scam. A woman sitting next to me on a plane had a hissy fit when I opened one of those tiny bags of peanuts. She was allergic to peanuts, but I couldn't have them either. Something about peanut dust getting in her lungs or whatever. Hey, lady. Airlines give out peanuts. I like peanuts. If you're allergic to peanuts, take Greyhound.

As someone who will occasionally tell people that I am allergic to peanut butter, I can tell you that in some situations it seems to be the only way to get some people to stop trying to build meal around that food. I literally cannot swallow anything that tastes of peanut butter, fortunately I think it is just a psychosomatic reaction to aflatoxin exposure as a kid. My problem was a boy scout troop that seemed to want to serve peanut butter sandwiches for lunch on camping trips.

The overwhelming percentage of the time, all I need to do is check labels for peanut butter. Strangely enough, I actually like to eat peanuts.
